Li Zhang

The news that Wu Zijun was caught in an ambush by the mourning army quickly spread back to the capital, and Sima Yi ignored all kinds of arguments in the court and declared a state of war.Then mobilize the defenders to the states, led by General Jianwei Liu Guanqiang, and enter Liangzhou to support Wu Zijun.The Dingnan Army marched westward to Yangfangbao, and at the same time paid attention to the movements of the two Xianbei.

This time everyone has seen Cheng Xuan's intentions, and they are especially concerned about the movements of Tuoba Mian and Bu Yixi's two Xianbei.

At that time, there were about [-] soldiers in Rouran, about [-] in the Kelubi tribe, and about [-] in the total of the Buyixi and Tuobamian tribes, of which the Buyixi tribe accounted for more than half.After the Dingbei Army removed the [-] Qianfeng Battalion, there were only [-] Chinese troops, plus the [-] Ronghuan troops stationed in Zhangyuan and the [-] Dingnan Army stationed in Pingdu, they were in a delicate and dangerous situation in the three-way confrontation.

Sima Yi specially set up a military intelligence department for this purpose, composed of Jin Baimuyan, Minister of War Meng Yaofu, and Dingdong General Liu Dianzhai, to make judgments and decisions on the military situation ahead.Prime Minister Wei Pingxuan suggested sending envoys to strengthen ties with Tuoba Mian and try his best to win over Bu Yixi.Sima Yi nodded in agreement, and asked Wei Pingxuan who is the right candidate for the mission to Xianbei.

Wei Pingxuan bowed to Jin Bai and said, "Master Jin, please spare some time!"

Sima Yi was taken aback: "The orphan sent him to the Military Intelligence Department..."

"Xianbei's orientation is more important than the current military situation. Mr. Jin has all eyes and hands, so he should be the best candidate for the mission!"

Jin Bai frowned slightly when he heard the words, exchanged a glance with Sima Yi, and turned to look at Wei Pingxuan inquisitively: "Jin Bai is stupid, I don't know what my lord means, I hope my lord can get a little confused!"

Wei Pingxuan said with a calm smile: "Wei heard that Mr. Jin has privately stored spies, and specializes in investigating all kinds of information. At this time of crisis, how can he not make good use of it?"

Jin Bai replied calmly: "Since Mr. Wei thinks that Jin Bai is good at being an envoy, Jin Bai should do his best. It's just that this private spy said it. I don't know where he heard it from?"

Wei Pingxuan said sternly: "If you want people not to know, you have to do nothing. It's just that Mr. Jin buried a spy beside General Su, it's a bit too much!"

Jin Bai was about to refute, when Wei Pingxuan remonstrated with Sima Yisurong again: "The emperor went out of Beijing in private clothes, and ignored the concerns of the empress dowager, and ignored the worries of the government officials. Duan's people coercing the generals of the dynasty is really self-willed and self-destructive. The minister thinks that the emperor should think about it and think about it, which is the way of a benevolent monarch!"

Sima Yi got angry when he heard it, and the evil fire in his heart that was blocked by Li Zhang and had nowhere to vent broke out: "Well, Wei Pingxuan, you keep accusing Jin Bai of secret spying, but you have a lot of things to inquire about yourself. Why did Li Zhang misbehave? Back then, those snobbish old men made excuses, you knew as well as Gu! Why are you repeating the same old tune now?! Gu doesn’t understand, who is Li Zhang hindering? He was repeatedly used as a target! Now that the words have come to the fore, Gu is not afraid to speak out! The guard Li Zhang returned to Beijing from Ningzhou alone, and died all the way without giving up. Just because Sima Yao was released by mistake, Became a person who will never be restored? Gu knows what you are really worried about! Gu is not as good as you want!"

He spoke so happily that he no longer wanted to suppress his emotions, he simply pointed at Wei Pingxuan and said provocatively: "Li Zhang is the grandson of Wei Guogong Liu Muyan, he is the one sent by his orphan to the Dingbei Army to practice the new formation! What else can you say?! "

Wei Pingxuan's stubbornness also came up, and he continued to compete with Sima Yi with his neck stuck: "How can the emperor protect Li Zhang because of personal affairs! Li Zhang cheated his death and left the palace that day, it is already a deception, so where does the emperor's relatives come from?" Regardless of whether he has any intentions in rehearsing the new formation, just talking about his private investigation of General Su is not a good thing, how can the emperor do something that chills the hearts of soldiers when the military situation is in crisis?!"

Before Sima Yi could finish listening, he was so angry that he picked up the ink cartridge on the desk and threw it down. The ink cartridge fell to the ground as it rubbed against Wei Pingxuan's body, and the ink splashed half of the court robe.Wei Pingxuan was stunned for a while, seeing that Sima Yi was really angry, he also hesitated for a while.In the final analysis, his source of news was only the report of Su Qingyang's personal guards, not the direct instruction of Su Qingyang himself.And although Sima Yi never compromised on Li Zhang's issue, it was the first time he was so out of control in front of others, allowing him to glimpse Sima Yi's deep sorrow from this shocking anger, and suddenly he was no longer so Determined.

Sima Yi felt chest tightness and shortness of breath again. After throwing away the ink cartridge, he grabbed his chest and supported the desk, struggling to speak, but he couldn't speak.Seeing this, Jin Bai hurried up to support him, fed him a pill, and stretched out his hand to press his Quze point to help him calm down.

Wei Pingxuan finally knelt down, pleading guilty in fear.Sima Yiyou was about to speak, but was gently stopped by Jin Bai.

"Master Wei is concerned about Jin Bai's private spying, and accuses Li Zhang of privately investigating General Su. Are you implying that Jin Bai is his behind-the-scenes instigator?"

Wei Pingxuan said sternly: "Master Jin is willing to answer the question, it is naturally the best. The matter about Li Zhang is not a selfish provocation by Wei, but Wei feels," he looked up at Sima Yi, and said solemnly, "Your Majesty I have been entangled with him for a long time, and there are many rumors in the government and the public, but he always appears in the most controversial place, so it is no wonder that he is relegated. I think that if he is really as beautiful as the emperor said, the emperor will Why not wipe him away from the dust and make him shine in front of people?"

Sima Yi was taken aback, and looked at Wei Pingxuan probingly, seeing that he was sincere and completely no longer as stubborn as before, so he couldn't help asking: "Is this Wei Qing's true meaning?"

Wei Pingxuan looked back at Jin Bai and said, "I am willing to listen to Lord Jin's explanation with all ears!"

Jin Bai knew that there was nothing to hide about the secret guards, and he wanted to wash away the stigma for Li Zhang, so he followed Wei Pingxuan's words and said, "The dark guards in northern Xinjiang were indeed set up by Jin Bai, but their purpose was to investigate all roadsides. Love to help the emperor make decisions. Because he has always been meticulous and thoughtful, and Li Zhang is the assistant manager, and it is easier to detect changes in the situation when he is in it, it is indeed not for the Soviet general and the Dingbei army. It is the eyes and ears of Jin Bai alone, let alone private savings.

As for formation training, Li Zhang's rehearsal for Dingbei Army's new formation has already made Cheng Xuan want to get rid of it quickly, presumably Master Wei has also heard about it.If Li Zhang had to be accused of having other schemes in this way, then Jin Bai had nothing to say.The details are like this, I wonder if Mr. Wei is satisfied? "

Wei Pingxuan listened carefully, although he still had doubts about the real responsibility of the hidden guard, but what Jin Bai said really cleared Li Zhang's suspicion.He looked at Sima Yi with a serious face, felt the trust between them, and suddenly felt strange jealousy, but he quickly suppressed it.

He solemnly pleaded guilty and said: "I understand. I believe that Mr. Jin will be able to deal with the possible threat from Xianbei, and Li Zhang, the emperor knows that he is the successor of Wei Guogong and has already shown himself in the Dingbei Army, so why? Don't break the rules and appoint, so as to rectify yourself? Now that there is a rift with General Su, I'm afraid it will be bad for future wars!"

Sima Yi helped his forehead helplessly, glanced at Jin Bai who also had a helpless look on his face, shook his head and sighed: "It's not that I don't want to, but he refuses to accept it! Su Qingyang is perverse and stubborn, and he is also stubborn and obedient, and he is also very stubborn. Worry about them!"

Seeing this, Wei Pingxuan knew it would be useless to talk too much, so he discussed the main points of the mission with Jin Bai, and then left.

After Wei Pingxuan left, Jin Bai and Sima Yi were silent, until night fell, and Sima Yi made up his mind and said: "Wei Pingxuan is right, it's time to justify Li Zhang's name! He just said that he doesn't want to enter the palace again. Let him be given a military post, so he can't leave again, can he?"

Jin Bai raised his head and looked at him with deep eyes: "Has the emperor thought it through?"

Sima Yi clenched his hands involuntarily, experiencing various emotions over and over again, and said to himself and Jin Bai: "Gu wants to see him live well, see him shine, see him...laugh!

I don't want to hug him again... I regret it!Hope, he is really willing to forget those past..."

"He will! He's always been so sensible..."

Jin Bai choked up uncontrollably, and laughed at himself in a low voice: "It's a pity that I'm not as good as Senior Brother Mu, who thinks he's so pretentious, that's why...so hard to trust him!"

He raised his head and let out a long sigh, calmed down and said to Sima Yi: "I plan to go to Tuoba Mian's department first. Li Zhang spent great efforts to find the white deer but to no avail. I suspect that Cheng Xuan has inserted her into Tuoba Mian's side. Ling Yuncong is in Buyixi's department, since Li Zhang believes in him, the minister also intends to believe in him once. If the emperor grants Li Zhang a military post, where does he plan to appoint him?"

Sima Yi sighed: "Accordingly, he should be in the Dingbei Army. After all, he has given a lot. It's just that Su Qingyang... Su Qingyang is upright and correct, but he is too sticky and honest. I have a rift with him, and there will always be problems with justice. Guxiang... What do you think of sealing him to Pingdu?"

"General Ping..." Jin Bai pondered, quickly went through Pingdu's personal preferences in his mind, nodded and said: "General Ping was quite smooth when he was under Zuo Zongping's tent, otherwise he would not be able to sit firmly as the deputy general. Besides, he knows Li Zhang's background, so he will cooperate well with him. I also think that it is better for Li Zhang to go to the Dingnan Army than to stay in the Dingbei Army."

"So, so be it!"

Sima Yi's complexion completely cleared up, showing a sense of relief that he hadn't felt in a long time, Jin Bai could see it clearly, and his heart also relaxed.

On September [-]th, Jin Bai sent an envoy to Xianbei of the Tuoba Mian tribe in Chifeng.At the same time, when the spies in Yanmen Pass were preparing to release the enemy with internal and external cooperation, they were caught by the newly appointed Guanfang Commander and caught all the big fish and small shrimps. Even the former commander was not spared. He was captured by Bai Qi on the way to escape. Captured the county guard master who fled with him.In the next few days, all the spies in Yanmen County were arrested, and Li Zhang was cleared of his charges.Kelubi withdrew from Yanmen Pass and turned to Jining.

Li Zhangfu was innocent, and Sima Yi's imperial decree came soon.Under the eyes of everyone, Li Zhang had no choice but to accept the order, and at the same time received the Longyuan sword given by the emperor.

During the whole process, Su Qingyang looked solemn, neither embarrassment, self-blame, nor indifference, his eyes seemed to be fixed on Li Zhang, and he seemed to have traveled far away.

After the war in northern Xinjiang, the pressure on Loufan Pass and Yanmen Pass increased sharply. Under Rouran's full attack, Su Qingyang still allocated [-] Chinese troops to support Yanmen Pass, while he sent all non-combatants to the pass.Li Zhang, who was still under guard, invited himself to the battlefield, and fought bloody battles with the guards, and did not go down the wall for more than ten days.Although Su Qingyang did not deliberately send anyone to supervise all this, it was often mentioned naturally by his subordinates in the daily military review.Even Zhao Boxi, who has a deep prejudice against Li Zhang, cannot ignore Li Zhang's concentration and proficiency in battle-he has become a member of the Shenjian Battalion without hesitation, even though his arm strength is inferior to others, he is fast in medium and short ranges. And ruthless, the result is not inferior to the most experienced archer in the battalion.

Su Qingyang had long believed that Li Zhang was not a spy, and it was only because of various unspeakable emotions that he repeatedly delayed rectifying his name until Yanmen County sent a letter, but the emperor's will followed.He could see that Li Zhang was unwilling to accept the new appointment, but he did not reveal his intention to stay.He didn't even have any extra expressions on his face, and after receiving the order, he bid farewell to the generals present with the gift of his subordinates, and only showed a helpless wry smile in the eyes of Zhang Yu.

Li Zhang left the Dingbei Army quietly the next morning, but Su Qingyang saw a newly written new formation change and coping rules on the handsome case, which was not raised or signed, and was placed in the middle of the handsome case, just like that People are unassuming but serious.For the first time, Su Qingyang wanted to thoroughly understand a person's thoughts, but this person was repeatedly pushed far away by himself, and finally stayed away.He put away Li Zhang's merit list, believing that he would prove himself in another way.He suddenly looked forward to it.

PS: The information from Baidu is that Ningwu Pass (Loufan Pass) is the pass with the most frequent wars in the past dynasties among the three passes. The Hui River it relies on is a seasonal river.However, Yanmen Pass has mountains as natural dangers, and it is difficult for cavalry to break through.Pianguan takes the Yellow River as a natural barrier, and only winter cavalry can cross it on ice.
